ERP vs PMIS

I disagree, as ERP is a corporate backbone, for any company; while PMIS focusses on project-based functions. Therefore ERP is structure's, while PMIS is a privilege's. Those PB (Project-Based) companies would experience many malfunctions if there is no ERP in procedures of applications.

There is a difference between the ERP Enterprise resource planning and the PMIS project management information system.

PMIS is part of the ERP system, but the companies do not have to have both systems.
Some companies only need the ERP system, others only need PMIS, and sometimes the other two systems need together.

ERP is an integrated system for managing all resources and departments within the company, which includes financial management finance department, human capital department, supply chain department, legal department, compliance department, quality assurance department and information technology department.

The ERP system connects all these sections with each other in an integrated and thorough manner and works to govern all processes and procedures within the system so as to ensure transparency, equality and high quality of all processes and procedures within the organization.

PMIS is used to manage projects within the organization and ensure that they achieve the objectives and plans developed to help the organization's staff follow project schedules, cashflow financial flows, invoices, resource projects, documents and Correspondence projects.

PMIS ensures that projects are followed up and deviations are observed from the beginning and work to correct them before they worsen and their impact on the project also ensures the quality of the information displayed that helps in the decision-making process on which dashboards are designed.

The use of ERP systems has become necessary to facilitate and govern the work, but before proceeding with the process of purchasing these systems and applying them, companies and organizations must evaluate the size of their business and the nature of the projects to know the appropriate type of them and the necessary characteristics of the organization.

Some companies need only a financial management system, some need a financial management system and a human resources management system only, and others only need a project information management system.

Companies must assess their needs and then make the decision to invest in these systems, so if you buy a complete system that includes all the characteristics and features without using it, this will hinder the procedures, weaken the governance process and confuse users, resulting in the failure of the system and thus the loss of investment.
